The statues created by Nitro are avatar-sized mesh figures and other abstract objects with a shiny metal finish. These have been placed in various positions on paths that branch out and extend throughout the gallery and are framed by the photographs by MM (Mysterr) and Senna Coronet. Each little road offers a different experience and ultimately also a different destination. Based on the myth of Sisyphus, the installation touches upon issues surrounding man’s search for meaning in life. In Greek mythology Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra, punished for his actions to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, repeating this action for eternity. Nitro successfully integrates this notion into his beautiful installation, taking us down winding roads on journeys of struggle, love and discovery. This is such a strong body of work. Bravo, Nitro.

I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. (Albert Camus, 1942, The Myth Of Sisyphus)
